Abstract
We present a telemedicine application that provides remote medical care ser vices while taking advantage of the broadcast and multicast capabilities an d the wide-band capacity of satellite systems. We developed the application in an open environment (Java) using a client-server architecture based on TCP/IP. We evaluated the performance of the application on satellite connec tions.
